Hello all

Any tips you can give me or potential problems I should look out for when changing hyd fluid/filter on my 1635?


Thanks

Very easy. We drove ours up on metal ramps that were laying on the ground just to give a little extra clearance, but 2x8 would work too. Cut a plastic 45 gallon drum down so it would slide under the tractor from the rear. Pulled the plug, let it drain. put that one back in, slid the barrel back, and then drained the planetaries. Put the plug back in, and slid the barrel out. Pull the filter in the trans on the right side and clean it then reinstall, then change the spin on located above the front axle, refilled, bled the hydraulic pump, and was all set.

Took the front tires off to do the front axle, as they were in the way of the breather plugs on the drives. If you pull the plugs before you drain/fill, makes the job quicker and easier.

How much oil does that tractor of yours hold?

How much oil does that tractor of yours hold?

31 L in the trans, 7L (7 1/2?) in the front axle, & 6L In the engine.

Mercy,,, Mine only takes 18 L in the Hydro. But you have a different transmission. My operators manuel states 8 in the transmission but I think it is a misprint and does not have the 1 in front. I didn't know because of that big bucket you said you made to catch the oil. My book also shows a drain plug by the suction filter but I couldn't find one anywhere on there. I two drain plugs under the final drives and the rest of the oil came out of the suction screen as it was at the lowest point. It had to have drained most all of the oil as it took the recommend amout of oil to fill it back up. All of the drain plugs are painted yellow on the front axle and transmission both.

Can you explain where this is (or take a picture)? I did the 50 hour service with my dad and we either didn't do this or he did it without me looking and I have no idea where it is. I took what I thought was the filter (or filter cover) off to the left (as you are driving) of the drain plug and there is no filter there, but got a nice view of the gears. This had 4 12mm bolts holding it on and probably wasn't supposed to come off. Whoops.

Sorry, that is LEFT side. If you look underneath, you will see a round cover, that is for the filter. Will try and find pics and post them.

See the round cover below the Brake arm & FWA rod?




That is the cover.

Thanks, I believe I saw that. It looked smaller than what I was thinking (see what that does for me) but I will check it out tonight.
